Employing migrant workers in the UK

Employing migrant workers in the UK

An employer’s ability to quickly recruit key personnel may be a crucial factor in its continued success. Where workers cannot be recruited to a vacancy locally, it may be necessary to widen the scope of the search to include the possibility of employing workers from outside of the European Economic Area (EEA).

Workers coming to the UK from outside of the EEA are referred to as ‘migrant workers’ or ‘migrants’.
